Upholstery

Internal and External Trims.

The researchers on composite materials, reinforced plastics, and polymers have come up with improved material qualities that make them suitable for use in interior, exterior, and under bonnet components of automobiles. The careful selection of these automotive plastics enables designers to improve durability, meet load bearing requirements, and achieve reduction in vehicle weight.

In 2011 Asia-Pacific was leading in the automotive plastics consumption volume by 52%, followed by Europe (29%), North America (10%), and rest of the world (9%), of which polypropylene leads consumption by 36%, followed by polyurethanes (17%), ABS (12%), composites (11%), HDPE (10%), polycarbonates (7%), and PMMA (7%), due to their easy forming properties and their availability at cheaper price than other materials.

The automotive plastics are among one of the widely preferred alternatives for light-weighting of automobile as they offer enhanced properties such as impact strength, easy mold-ability, improved aesthetics, and reduced weight as compared to conventional automotive components.

The increasing production of passenger cars in Asia-Pacific is one of the main drivers for increasing consumption of automotive plastics globally.

The market dynamics of Automotive Plastics Market for Passenger Cars are studied for market insights such as drivers, restraints, and opportunity. The main drivers of automotive plastics utilization are their potential for maximum mass reduction of automobile and carbon emission reduction potential by light-weighting of the vehicle. The opportunities are cited in new materials such as reinforced composites and PMMA.
